  W.E.B. DU BOIS GOES TO JAPAN

“On the last day, as I was paying my bill at the Imperial Hotel of Tokyo, a typical loud-mouthed American white woman barged in and demanded service. In America the clerk would have immediately turned to her, if not to wait on her at least to apologize or explain. But not in Tokyo. The clerk did not wink an eye or turn his head; he carefully finished waiting on me and took time to bow with Japanese politeness and then turned to America.”

Art Blakey in Japan

When Art Blakey first visited to Japan,he was asked a commemorative photo from enthusiast. He said “l am African American. Do you want to take a picture with me?” The man was fit to willingly photo with him. In those days or even nowdays Japanese jazz enthusiast respect African American.

 日本すごい、というよりアメリカひどい！　なんじゃないか、というのは昔からあんま変わんないような・・・
